I swear, if this franking team doesn't finish last, I will disown them forever.
Three freaking years of crap...for what then?
Timmy better figure it out fast and stop f'ING around.
send Larson down send everyone down and bring up ECHL players...get rid of Lindback..put him on waivers.
Mother Fer..this is crazy.
only Buffalo could screw this up.
Tpegs needs to get in Murray's face and tell him 30th or your fired...period.

We have watched the worse hockey the last two years. If they don't finish last, EVERYONE SHOULD BE FIRED. I know for a fact,everyone in the front office is tanking. They had no intention to get out of last place all year. If they don't finish last,they all get fired

Firing the players, too? Because that's who's winning these games.

Murray did his part by giving Nolan NOTHING to work with. Besides that ridiculous 10-3 run they went on, they are one of the most atrocious teams since recent expansion.

I agree terry PEGULA better get to nolan and offer him a four year scouting job. Only a buffalo team could screw up the perfect wet dream

And yet they are somehow only 4 points away from ruining two seasons worth of tanking.

My bad I thought you said oilers as I had typed a post about them previously.

In any case, those two gimmie wins against them ( I still think we crush them) will allow the oilers to slip past us

- bberkey1


Like I said, the two Games against the YOTES are the games, I'm not worried about Oilers, they will win a few games, its clearly the YOTES and the games will determine the order.

Can't blame the players or Nolan fort that matter. Hockey is what they do, it's what they live for.

I feel bad for the fans who didn't want to tank and have had to watch 2 years of garbage hockey and now we're teetering on losing 1 or 2, which means we could be fighting for 8th seed at best for next few years, making it all that much worse

Murray did not do his part,he is firing Nolan at the end of the year. Nolan knows this. No.an is sticking it to murray. He won't play HACKETT and will ride the hot goalie. Nolan should of been fired earlier in year and brought up Cassidy to finish the tank. Cassidy 100% is getting fired also,so murray could of easily fire Nolan and then had Cassidy as interim. Murray was to busy having a coup,e of pops every minute of the day,he can't get out of his stupor

First win after Deadline, and we were outshot 40-20, Lindback isn't going to keep this up. If we were outshooting teams, outplaying them, I would be more concerned. I/we don't have ANY control over this outcome.

Oilers, if they actually play hockey should only lose b/c of goaltending or bad D. There was a stretch there where they struggled to put up more than 1 goal. They play columbus and philly next, two winnable games so I just want them to score goals, if they lose b/c they give up too many goals so be it, but yesterday's offensive performance should be a more a more practical approach especially if hall returns

All depends on the Oil goalie,if Schrivens is letting softies in then yeah they won win that many but if he does stop the puck enough then the Oil can score enough to win lots of games.
- AlEx_OiL


The Oilers aren't close to the disaster they were the first half the season. They could easily go .500 the rest of the year.

So let's make it so blatantly obvious that the league says "(frank) the Sabres" and doesn't let them win it anyway.

If we don't finish last he didn't. Any monkey could of came in and drafted Reinhart last year and sold our remaining UFAs. the biggest test of murray was building a team to finish last this year, not second last. There were worse signings he could of made. Could of kept John Scott dagustino etc... Found a worse goalie to be our starter this year. If we aren't last I consider murray a huge failure.

hope all these people that dislike the tank enjoy the irony of the extra few wins when we are a bottom five team for 3-4 more years without mceichel

Come on,stop with this stupid conspiracy theories. The league has in place the rules. At the end of the year you finish last you have 20% chance,they are not cheating and picking who will win the first pick.secondly,by firing nolan and brining up Cassidy,the league will says we ar a king by firing a coach who has no system,was inherited by murray and shouldn't be coaching squirts

Well I don't know what to tell you then.

Jump off a bridge, I guess.

Aren't you the one with all the sources? And you're spewing around like this?

You are 100% right. Plain and simple if you don't finish last,murray is a complete failure.lets not talk the kane trade because myers is going to be a superstar. He has done nothing as GM that is earth shattering. If he can't lose on purpose and identify 20 games ago he has to make more changes to assure we do,fire his ass

This is gold.

Murray is a huge failure? Unless you have your crystal ball out, you have zero clue on how all these kids we already have will pan out. None.

One player is not going to save the franchise.
